Dear List, I am posting my Crews Family data base for everyone to review. I think it will at the least create discussion of its contents. The sources have been; 1) "The Miller History" written by Judge W H Miller. There have been changes made to his record due to later research proving some detail to be in error. The Madison County Ky. Crews men that married Maupin girls. 2)."Metes and Bounds II" by Donna H. Porter. This information was forwarded to me by internet. 3) Internet "Crews Archives" and individual contributions to the Crews List. Particularly Dave Harris, Joanne Black, Patricia Ray, Hazel Knight, and Col. Sandy Gorin. I am sure there are others whom I have inadvertently omitted and I apologize. 4) Madison County, KY. marriage records. I thought if we had a complete data base to critique and update it would be easier to keep things in order. I am willing to update this DB and share it at any time and hope those that have contributed will understand my motive is to help anyone interested in the line. Anyone who would like another format to download, email me with your request. I retain copies of most documents used as sources, but as anyone knows who does a lot of research will tell you, they can be difficult to manage. I will try to answer source questions as best that I can. My Main research is centered on the Miller surname found in Madison County, KY. along with West and Shearer. Crews men married into Shearer and Croucher lines and they in turn married into Miller. The Maupin line is also important in one line of Miller's. I believe the early families of Ky. traveled in groups for safety reasons and that if I know the history I will find my Miller Patriarch. There are eleven generations of Crews and I thought it best to split them into three or four groups. Thank you, Darrell Miller Descendants of John Cruse/Crews Generation No. 1 1.
